No one seems to have posted about this anime, so I thought I'd start an Escaflowne thread. Very good anime, a good mech/romance/action/fantasy anime series. I highly recommend The Vision of Escaflowne, its only 26 episodes, so I say give it a try.
I watch Escaflowne with my dad a few years ago and I was a bit younger so I didn't understand it all to much. But I have to agree with you that it was a really great anime. It's one that I'll probiably watch many times in the future =)
